Drumstick

Wood: The most common type of drumstick material is wood. Popular wood choices include hickory, maple, and oak. Hickory is the most popular choice due to its durability, weight, and responsiveness. Maple drumsticks are lighter and offer a brighter sound, while oak drumsticks are even denser than hickory and provide a powerful attack.

Nylon: Nylon drumsticks are a lighter option than wood and are often used by beginners or for quieter playing situations. They are also more durable than wood and less likely to break.

Plastic: Plastic drumsticks are the least common type and are typically used for practice due to their low cost and durability. However, they can produce a less desirable sound than wood or nylon drumsticks.
